THE MOVIE From Amazon.com Georgia is an American academic who's lost her teaching job in Athens. She's taken a job as a tour guide, but she hates it and it shows: the tourists, mostly American, are bored with history and facts; they want to shop. Every group has a goofy couple, a frat boy, a sullen teen, a feuding couple, divorcées looking for a mate, and a funny guy. This group is no exception, plus there's no air conditioning and a bearded silent driver. Thanks to an unlikely friendship, plus daisies, an ice-cream cone, the history of syrup, and the Oracle at Delphi, Georgia may have a shot at finding her kefi during this four-day tour.   Written by  <jhailey@hotmail.com> This is not the first time I watched this movie.  It's perhaps the third or fourth time.  I first watched this in 2009 , and I had a grand time.  It was like I was touring with the TEAM B, with Poupi as the driver and Georgia as my tour guide.

He has been working for this moment his entire life. This is his last chance. For her, this could be the beginning. And it would be the perfect love story if it weren't for THE COMPETITION   From imdb: The movie centers on a piano competition whose winner is assured of success. It is Paul's last chance to compete, but newcomer Heidi may be a better pianist. Can romance be far away? Will she take a dive despite the pressure to win from her teacher, Greta, or will she condemn Paul to obscurity?  Written by  Reid Gagle If you want spoilers, click:  The Summary THE COMPETITION is another one of my favorite films of all time because this is such a beautiful love story.  Love really comes from unexpected places and events.  Even if some of the concert pianists shunned this movie, I still like it. Amy Irving and Richard Dreyfuss have great onscreen chemistry and Lee Remick was also very convincing here.  I will watch this again and again and ag...
